Amelia Stratman, left, a senior from Fairview Heights studying equine science, and horseback riding instructor Anne Corbin help Lillie, the second foal born during March, stand up Thursday morning at the SIUC Equine Center. Lillie’s mother, Lotus, watched her newborn while she rested after 30 minutes of labor. “ Being able to be a part of the foal watch is an amazing thing to do,” Stratman said. Equine students foal watch, or look after pregnant mares, during all-night shifts each spring.

Robert Bales, 1st platoon sergeant, Blackhorse Company, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Infantry Regiment, 3rd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division participates in an exercise at the National Training Center at Fort Irwin, Calif. A U.S. official on Thursday, said Bales will be charged with 17 counts of murder in the massacre of Afghan villagers.

L AKE FOREST, I l l. — Michael Bush is joining the Chicago Bears, perhaps to team with Matt Forte and give the team two hard and effective runners who can alternate punishing defense.

Or maybe in a more visible role should Forte hold out after he earlier was slapped with the franchise tag.

Bush played four seasons for the Oakland Raiders, gaining 2,642 yards (4.2 yards per carry) and scoring 21 touchdowns. The powerful 245-pound back had his most productive season in 2011, setting career highs in rushes (256), yards (977), touchdowns (7), receptions (37) and yards receiving (418). He mostly was a backup to Darren McFadden but had nine starts last season when McFadden was injured.

“I was told that the rotation will be very good,” Bush said in a conference call after signing a four-year deal the Chicago Tribune reported was worth $14 million, with $7 million guaranteed. “I think there are enough carries to go around.”

Forte, who sprained his knee in early December and missed the final month of the season but went to the Pro Bowl, has not been able to get a long-term deal from the Bears. He was given the franchise tag, meaning he will make $7.742 million next season if there is no new contract reached.

Forte went to Twitter to express his opinion of the signing of Bush, saying he had been “disrespected.”

“There’s only so many times a man that has done everything he’s been asked to do can be disrespected! Guess the GOOD GUYS do finish last,” his post read.

Forte finished 2011 with 1,487

PROVIDED PHOTO yards from scrimmage and 997 rushing in his fourth season. He averaged 4.9 yards per carry. He was the first Chicago running back to make it to the Pro Bowl since Neal Anderson following the 1991 season.

Bush said he can relate to how Forte feels.

“It’s just one of those things where you want to be rewarded for your success. I understand, but that has nothing to do with me,” he said. “My job is to come here and play ball. If he wants to hold out, I know what he’s going through. I’m just going to be there doing what I’m supposed to do.”

Bush said he also visited the Bengals and was planning to go to Seattle before agreeing with the

Bears. Re-signing with the Raiders wasn’t much of an option because there not much communication.

“I haven’t heard too much from them,” he said, adding he understands the business side of football. “I’m not upset with them.”

Under new general manager Phil Emery, the Bears have been busy. They traded with the Dolphins for talented but troubled wide receiver Brandon Marshall, and signed backup quarterback Jason Campbell along with specialteams contributors Blake Costanzo and Eric Weems.

They also re-signed defensive end Israel Idonije, defensive back Tim Jennings, tight end Kellen Davis, backup quarterback Josh McCown and safety Craig Steltz.

Aries — Today is a 7 — Confusion could interrupt your tranquility and well-being. Slow down and take it easy to protect your health. When confronted with limitations, sidestep them or have some tea.

Cancer — Today is an 8 — Together you get more accomplished.

Share ideas and write down procedures. Trouble with papers could frustrate. Cooperate to handle urgencies, and let the rest wait.

Libra — Today is a 7 — There’s traffic on the communications highway. Set backup plans for important projects. Stand for service and health. Patience and courtesy get things moving.

Capricorn — Today is an 8 — Mercury’s retrograde returns to Pisces in your third house of communication, scrambling daily travel, family ties and self-expression.

Check pressure levels. Take it easy.

Taurus — Today is an 8 — Your idealism may get shaken today, or there may be disruption around some of your groups, clubs or organizations. Patience.

Wait for more details.

Leo — Today is a 7 — You may feel like withdrawing or hiding when it comes to love and creativity. Don’t let a little misunderstanding deflate the fun. Try compassion; forgiveness is divine.

Scorpio — Today is an 8 — Complete as much work as possible early on to allow for unexpected snafus with travel or a writing/publishing project. Later, put on something comfortable, and dance it all away.

Aquarius — Today is a 7 — Maintaining a philosophical outlook keeps you powerful through any communication breakdowns, especially regarding finances. Go over statements twice.

Gemini — Today is a 6 — If things don’t line up in your career, find shelter in the arms of a loved one. Receive affection, but also give it. It goes both ways. Share gratitude.

Virgo — Today is a 7 — You’re on a roll at work and bringing in the bacon. Check financials. Untangle misunderstandings with your partner by repeating back what you heard. You can solve it.

Sagittarius — Today is an 8 — If things get confusing at home, slow down and repeat back what you heard ... chances are, it got mixed up. Keep messes to a minimum and mechanical equipment in good repair.

Pisces — Today is a 7 — Whatever happens, don’t take it personally ... it’s unrelated. Don’t get stuck in your head about what others might think. It becomes clear later. You know who you are.
